Tomcat NIO Connector and How to Configure It

In  HTTP 1.1 , all connections between the browser and the server are considered persistent unless declared otherwise. Persistence, in this context, means to use a single TCP connection to send and receive multiple HTTP requests/responses, as opposed to opening a new connection for every single request/response pair. In tomcat, the default HTTP connector is blocking and follows a one thread per connection model. This means that in order to serve 100 concurrent users, it requires 100 active threads. We end up wasting resources (the thread) because connections may not be used heavily, but just enough to avoid a timeout. Opposed to this is the relatively new NIO or non blocking connector. This connector has a couple of poller threads used to keep the connection alive for all connected users while worker threads are called whenever data (a new HTTP request) is available. This model leads to a much better sharing of resources (threads) and a larger number of concurrent users can ...
